Is It True? Conor McGregor Announces Retirement?

The world of MMA and the UFC were both stunned last night; as well as legions of fans. Last night the interwebs exploded as Conor McGregor took to Twitter to state “I have decided to retire you. Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya’s later”. But what does it all mean? Shortly after the tweet it was announced by Dana White that McGregor’s rematch with Nate Diaz had been taken off the UFC 200 card, and MMA’s collective head exploded. Could it have to do with the recent MMA related death(s)? Could it have to do with all the recent studies on the effect of trauma to the brain?

Could this all be part of Conor McGregor’s plan? To simply retire young, healthy and rich? While there hasn’t been much from McGregor’s camp, the UFC is scrambling. Will Nate Diaz still fight July 9th? He himself tweeted “I guess my work here is done I’m retiring too”. Just what is going on in the world of MMA, and/or UFC? One thing is for sure, the next few weeks should play out in interesting fashion, while more news on UFC 200 is certain to come soon.
